The Lord showed me a series of posters which represented the many subjects studied in Catholic schools. If the children don't learn spiritual truths, however, they will be lost. They need to know about God's love for them, and their unique worth; and also about the importance of prayer, the sacraments, holy living, the Mass, and perseverance in grace until death.

A person who dies, and who is ready for Heaven, moves to the heart of the Holy Trinity, to live in Eternal bliss and fulfilment. He has been saved by the merits of Jesus, the only Saviour, and the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Jesus would be the first to help a friend in need. Likewise, He urged me not to worry about leaving my prayer in order to deal with a little mishap. Friends understand one another.

A Catholic who refuses to believe some of the truths of the Faith puts up a barrier in his soul, and prevents himself from gaining the sort of clearer understanding of Truth, and of inter-locking truths, that he might have gained from God in prayer.

When we present our offerings to Our Blessed Lady, for her to perfect them before we approach the Lord, we are like a child who checks a gift with her mother, before she approaches a beloved father with a birthday present.

All the Saints were smiling, sharing their joy with one another, because the Church on earth was praising God the Father, through Christ, in the Spirit, as the congregation said the great 'Amen' at Mass.

When we request prayers of the Saints, we can be sure that their intercessions are fruitful. The Lord hears them, and pours His graces upon the people we've prayed for: people in great need of help. It's as though a spotlight shines from Heaven on their behaviour, to help them to change it - though some decide to ignore Heaven's help.

Though we know that the Saints do not sit upon the clouds, as shown in ancient pictures, the truth shown out through those pictures remains the same: that the Saints are with God in Heaven, and that they look upon us with love, and help us by their prayers.

No sick person should believe that he is 'useless'. The Lord invites each one to prepare for Heaven, to practice patience, to pray simple prayers and to trust in the love of the Holy Trinity.

It is sometimes right, the Lord said, to give a brief, quiet reminder to noisy people, that the church is a place for prayer, and not for chatter about everyday matters.

It was an earnest request from the Lord: "Tell everybody who will listen" - that Jesus our God and Saviour is truly Present at every Mass, 'hidden' in the sacred species, and praying just as He did on Calvary, for sinners.

A Christian who cannot be bothered to say regular prayers is unlikely to become a great Saint, unless he changes his attitude, rather as a sportsman who cannot run around the track every day, as a minimum, is unlikely to be able to enter the Olympic Games.

Christ greeted me with His arms open wide in a loving gesture, showing His delight, on my child's birthday, that I have welcomed every child I have conceived, and have been grateful for God's gift of help.

Christ told me how much joy it gave Him to see me full of wonder at the gift of life, each time I was pregnant. Each time I celebrate the birthday of one of the children, I find that Christ shows me anew, in prayer, how He delights in my gratitude.

On the birthday of my younger son I saw Christ at the altar, His arms stretched out in prayer as He praised the Father for all the spouses who love one another and who welcome and love their children, and are grateful for the gift of life.

Christ invites us to trust in His holy Mother Mary, and to ask for her prayers, especially under the title 'Mother of Perpetual Help'. Many graces are poured out upon the needy because of her intercessions.

Christ said to me: "Don't be afraid. Who will speak to them if you don't?" He was asking me to speak up frankly but gently about excessive noise in church, which is our 'House of Prayer'.

Christ was pleased that I had plucked up courage to speak, as He wished, about behaving quietly in church, which is a place consecrated for prayer, where He is Really Present with us.

There is a great 'gap' between the holiness of Heaven and the sinfulness of many lives on earth. Whose praise reaches Heaven, and is worthy of the Father? Only the praise of Christ His Son, and of all who pray in His name.
